100+ Things To Add To Your Bucket List

Introducing: My Bucket List

Being a stereotypical broke college student, I have extremely limited travel experience. As in, I can sum it up in one measly sentence… I’ve traveled to Montreal, Quebec, Nashville TN, Florida, and Washington DC (on top of more localized travel–New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, etc). That’s it. As a result, my bucket list is insane.

Now, I completely understand, guys. It’s super boring trying to read through someone else’s bucket list. I assume the only reason you’re bothering is because you’re in search of some inspiration for your own. I’ll try to make it a little easier on you. My bucket list is divided into five categories, so you’re not stuck reading a gigantic list. Happy reading!

Animals

Now, before I get started here, I just KNOW I’m going to get comments about animals in the tourism industry. I’ll be honest with you guys, I’m not sure how I feel about it. It breaks my heart to hear about animals like elephants that are abused for the sake of tourism. As a result, I really don’t think I could participate in these experiences without knowing that the animals are well cared for. So, while I may dream of riding an elephant and swimming with dolphins, that may not become a reality due to my beliefs. Just wanted to throw that out there!

PS: I just KNOW I’ve forgotten so many things on here…I’ve been writing this post for nearly three hours, I’m done! I’ll make sure to continually add things as I discover more adventures for my future.

Love that you’re documenting your bucket list. we share some of the same things – scuba dive, see the northern lights, tons of travel, etc. I actually have this book from Anthropologie that is titled “my bucket list” and you can write up to 100 things down and then each page is served to help document that bucket list item, before, during, and after you experience it. you should look into getting it, i love it!
